[PATCH v2 6/6] vfio: platform: move get/put reset at open/release

[Eric Auger]

Currently reset lookup is done on probe. This introduces a
race with new registration mechanism in the case where the
vfio-platform driver is bound to the device before its module
is loaded: on the load, the probe happens which triggers the
reset module load which itself attempts to get the symbol for
the registration function (vfio_platform_register_reset). The
symbol is not yet available hence the lookup fails. In case we
do the lookup in the first open we are sure the vfio-platform
module is loaded and vfio_platform_register_reset is available.
